There is a race right now to vaccinate Americans as quickly as possible, but even as we reach those vaccination goals for adults, what about kids? When is it their turn?
Dr. Perri Klass, a professor of pediatrics at NYU, says when it comes to answering any vaccine questions, first most important thing to say is talk. Yes, ask your pediatrician. You re going to have questions. People are going to want to talk about the possibility of the COVID vaccine for kids and when and how and why. And pediatricians. We love talking about shots.
